I tend to agree with you that repeats of the same dream are a persistent attempt at redefining or clarifying the underlying the message.Paula Sladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02923061193682673368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020898804375958182.post-73932494197227209582012-02-18T17:40:37.755-08:002012-02-18T17:40:37.755-08:00Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting on my p...Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting on my post about dreams, as it's brought me to yours. I love the detailed way you've described your dream and the sense you've made of it. One thing I agree with is your closing sentence. "The dreams are deep and the variations could go on forever if my mind allowed."

Sadly, I've now removed the word verification since Google screwed it up. What a mess.<br /><br />Gail -- I've often tried to consciously will myself to dream of problem solutions. It usually doesn't happen, at least not in any obvious way. But more than once I've had the sequential dreams which provide different looks at something that has concerned me.<br /><br />Shannon -- My goal is to understand what my dreams are saying to me, if anything.<br /><br />Incidentally, my train experience went without any problems.

I've found that I can direct a dream to an extent if I wake in the middle of it. I can let myself sink back into it and go in a different direction. Obviously, it will take off from there, but I've ended dreams on far happier notes than they were going before, and I've helped set my mind at ease that way. Other times, of course, they have gone bad no matter what, or have gone the direction they were trying to go, despite what I tried to do. It's interesting to experiment with, though.<br /><br /><a href="thewarriormuse.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Shannon at The Warrior Muse</a>, co-host of the <a href="http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/" rel="nofollow">2012 #atozchallenge</a>!

What I like to do is think about a problem before falling asleep so my subconscious can work out a plan. Often, a solution will present itself during the following day. Maybe the dream sequence process stays in my subconscious. <br />Thanks for sharing this thought provoking article!Gail M Baugniet - Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11543343067963247963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020898804375958182.post-53947271531447423382012-02-16T11:28:53.198-08:002012-02-16T11:28:53.198-08:00I couldn't help noticing that after thinking a...I couldn't help noticing that after thinking about getting out of bed and getting a snack because you were a little hungry, you fall back to sleep and dream that you...<br /><br /><i>...go to a vending stand to buy a snack</i><br /><br />I think that's an example of the conscious mind manipulating the subconscious dreaming mind. There was probably NOTHING to be interpreted in that one part of the dream: you went to a vending stand to buy a snack ONLY because just minutes earlier, you were indeed consciously thinking of eating.<br /><br />So, we do need to be able to differentiate between what is symbolically significant in our dreams and what is simply the conscious mind manipulating the subconscious.<br /><br />~ D-FensDogg<br />'Loyal American Underground'<br /><br />POSTSCRIPT: The Word Verification system is suddenly different.
